See, I've clicked on screenshots before; on the Macintosh when I was trying to document the Network Preferences and the Locations for other staff here. So I know that a screenshot can be confusing.

However, each time I've done it, it's only taken me a few seconds to work it out and fix things. It would never have gotten to the point of me having to call Help Desk for it.

Why is it that people still think the word "gay" is suitable to be used in this context? *smacks SonicandFAILS*

Personally, I like it and I think it makes a big improvement to the forum. It is MUCH MUCH neater. It's not that much more effort or time to enter a thread to see all the pages anyway.

I'm pretty sure that in this day and age, posting a lot on a webforum is not enough to make one a "nerd". It would have been though, a decade ago

Well, that someone destroyed any and all credibility his argument had by using the word "gay" in the context he did anyway. Now he just comes across as rather immature and whiny...

I'm not a big fan of either one.


I've never heard of either of those ingredients on pizza before

Course, I know brocolli goes well with cheese... mmm....

When I read the title of this thread, I was hoping this was going to be about injuries obtained from computer cases.

I'm disappointed.

Well, like I said, I think there was a fair bit of panic involved -- people don't slow down and think when they're in that state, they just kinda... panic and then call us.

Some users are quite panicky when it comes to... pretty much anything related to their computer actually. I find that I am constantly reassuring people that they haven't done anything terrible when they call me in a bit of a state...

The client was blaming themselves for the JPG incident -- in that they thought it was happening because they'd missed the "deadline" and that it was a punishment of some sort.

This week, just to get by with the debt and stuff, I've walked 3km to a store to refund a door lock to get $34 which I used to buy some extra groceries and put some petrol in my car. Then I walked 3km back.

I've gathered together old clothes to try to sell later for extra spare change for groceries too. And I'm trying to find other bits and pieces I can sell just to make ends meet.

I've only spent $30 all up on my groceries to last me two weeks; having put everything else I can afford into trying to pay off this nasty debt that's popped up and is being demanding.

I've also taken on some odd jobs on the weekend for small change -- I got dinner and some beer out of the last one... not much, but the pizza sure was good and a little treat I really needed.

I'd walk home to save myself bus fare but it's 11km....

I'm going to have to agree that the font on your old one WAS too small; particularly if it didn't load up in the font you intended... it would then load in Times New Roman and be quite difficult to read

New one much more readable.

No. There was a transition date -- when the old system was transferred over to the new, but not a deadline per se.

Yeah, there's enough confusion as it is with name changes. At least now people have to think a bit before they change their name...

Oh, and I forgot, I did a 12km walk in the City-Bay Fun Run because it was hinted by my mother that it was a prerequisite for her helping me out financially with the current lot of shit-hitting-the-fan.

Considering I'm asking her to give up a significant portion of her pay to help me out and I'm inflicting financial hardship upon her, I guess that's fair. Between all of us, we have 14 days to come up with $2,500.

I think based on her initial description I just told her that it was the computer being stupid.

After all, she described (of course) the login box from the webpage perfectly, when I asked if she was going to the right URL she said she was (because the URL happens to be written on the blue box in the login screen; which is not where I told her to look, but nevermind....) etc. She was able to type in the address for Google where I WANTED her to look in the first place, "confirming" that she knew what the address bar was and so I thought she'd looked there before when I'd asked her to...

So I thought the computer perhaps COULD have been misbehaving itself in some way.

VNC showed otherwise -- a login box JPG -- badly compressed -- located top left of screen instead of center -- and a totally different URL.

Based upon the way she was describing the problem and the weird answering of the URL/ Address Bar issue I thought that perhaps it was an actual issue for a bit there.

You want a name change that often? O_o

I dunno, I think there's a lot to be said for coming up with a name and sticking with it.

The word "gay" is still used to refer to people who are homosexual (regardless of whether you think it is or not). The fact that this word has become a synonym for "bad" is a commentary on how some people see homosexual persons. "Gay = Bad ?" And you say it has nothing to do with homosexuality? Don't make me laugh.

If you use the word "gay" to mean "bad", whether intentionally or not, you are being insulting.

And where I pick up on the word being used, I will not tolerate it. If you mean "bad", say "bad".

I'm going to have to concur with that one. After my day I wanted to slap somebody. Namely the person who got angry at me because they didn't save their file and it got... killed by the power outage in their area...

At least she's trying.

Not sure quite what to make of that... I suppose it's supposed to be a colourful and entertaining way to encourage kids to use the potty, but it's a little... odd... to watch...
